§ 37. Mr. BENNETT-GOLDNEYasked the Under-Secretary for War if there have been any further escapes from mishap since 14th February to any aeroplanes at the little aerodrome in the marshes which has been used by the pupils of the machine-gun school; if so, if he can say whether the danger was due to the dykes which intersect the aerodrome or to its protuberances; if he can say whether any report has reached the War Office pointing out these dangers; and, if so, when they were first received?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe landing ground at the ,musketry range in question is intersected with dykes, but by using different fields to land in, according to the direction of the wind, no danger is incurred from the dykes. There have been no serious accidents on this landing ground; when flying first started there one machine was badly damaged. There has been one accident, unattended by serious consequences, since 14th February. This was due to engine failure.
